Josh Naylor Leaves Early With Back Spasms
2 years agoCleveland Guardians first baseman/outfielder Josh Naylor (back) left Game 1 of a doubleheader early against the Detroit Tigers on Monday due to back spasms. It remains to be seen if he'll return to the lineup for Game 2, but it's probably unlikely. The good news for fantasy managers is that Naylor went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, a walk and a strikeout before departing the contest. For now, consider the 25-year-old as day-to-day. Entering Monday's games, he was slashing a solid .273/.327/.495 with an .822 OPS, 10 home runs, 42 RBI, 23 runs scored and a stolen base in 214 plate appearances over 53 games played. Owen Miller replaced Naylor in the game and could get the start at first base in the nightcap.
